Melshan Basabe has already committed once to Coach Fran McCaffery. The new Hawkeye head coach has spent the past couple of days trying to make that happen again, this time to the University of Iowa.

This was the first time that Basabe, who is originally from Glen Cove, NY and attends St. Mark's School in Southbrough, MA, had been to the state of Iowa. He found out that there is more to the Hawkeye state and the University of Iowa than he had originally thought.

"It was really great visit," Basabe said. "I was really impressed with the entire school, the academics, the facilities, and what the community had to offer. I really enjoyed seeing the University of Iowa."
